    play indie games

    for AAA titles, installing and running them already feels like a burden. PC games use to ship on 700 MB CD and 4 GB DVD and I think it’s insane to see more than 2 discs in a box. Developer have to save every triangle on the model and every MB of texture memory to work on limited resource. Now they just ship 8k full LOD and let UE handle the optimization part. Won’t complain if it works good.

    80 GB for one game is not ideal

      It’s unbelievable how well that one line of cards is holding up. I’m on a 1080, no Ti. Still runs most games on decent quality settings at 1440p and 60+ fps.

    Ryzen 5, 3600 and 1660 Super team, ASSEMBLE… A NEW MACHINE!

    Most of them are just UE5 games and I can tweak the engine.ini file to kill some of the new features that make it run like ass like Lumen. The ones using their own shit, tho… ugh. 😩

      Is it surviving? I’m on a 1080 and there aren’t many games I can’t play, but I’m finally having to make noticeable sacrifices in quality to get a decent frame rate. I can still run games at 1440p though. But, for a 10 year old card, it’s amazing what it can do.

        Its running fine although I tend to play older/indie games at 1440p 60-300 fps depending on whay im playing.

        Although recently I’ve been wanting to play Expedition 33 which I would probabily have issues with when I get around to it

    I built a new high end system a couple years ago, and I’m glad I did, since it may have to last for the foreseeable future.
